The idea of healing a cat with crystal therapy, energy medicine, and astromedicine will seem bizarre and even ridiculous to many pet owners. Yet the natural approach to cat well-being--a system relying less on chemical treatments and more on the body's own healing power--is gaining in popularity. Celeste Yarnall's Cat Care, Naturally enlightens owners about the field of feline holistic medicine. The author stresses that the book is not intended as a replacement for accepted veterinary medicine--and a professional should always be consulted before administering alternative treatments. Holistic medicine treats a cat as a "a unique individual, a perfect living thing." Within the book's 10 chapters, the principles of natural feline medicine are analyzed, and exemplified with countless treatments to counter common cat problems. Do you own a jealous kitty? Try using chicory to end those green rages. Is your cat depressed or apathetic? Gorse may be what you're looking for. Food plays a crucial role in natural medicine--canned foods are out; fresh, homemade meals are in. If you have the time to prepare raw vegetables with chunks of meat in purified water, the benefits may be a less disgruntled and sickly cat. Other health alternatives include homeopathy, acupuncture, and healing with sound. Holistic health care for cats is not for every owner, but if you're curious, Cat Care, Naturally is a fully comprehensive guide. --Naomi Gesinger
Customer Review: For The Love Of God, Make Her Stop!
For The Love Of God, Make Her Stop!!, February 8, 2004 Reviewer: A reader from USA I can't get past the first couple chapters. The book is scattered, hard to read and basically unenjoyable. A complete waste of time and money. Plus the foundation of this pseudo-doctor's feeding regime is the Pottenger Cat Study. This is an antequated study from the 1930's that had no controls. Reading it, any nutritionist worth their salt would know the diet Pottenger fed lacked taurine which caused his problems. Why doesn't Dr. Yarnall? Now, we have that and much more in today's food. How else can generations of cats reproducing year after year and living long heathly lives on commercial diets. This book is just one big long scare tactic to sell her product. But, it has one pratical use. It's a great sleep aid.
Customer Review: My very favorite book
This is the book that convinced me to start making my own cat food. Her recipie is so easy to make and all of my cats love it (they each have foods they will and will not eat though). I don't always have time to make the food so I feed some high quality cat foods such as sensible choice, Iams and Whysong wet foods, and inova (the best but harder to find). sometimes I mix half and half. I also realy enjoyed her chapter on cat astrology. The information for each of my cats was right on.
